Three Kingdoms Star System

Chapter 1058 Brilliant Prosperity (The Finale)

On the last day of the twelfth lunar month in the fourth year of Kaiyuan in the Han Dynasty, the wind was biting and the snow was flying heavily, but the soldiers and civilians and officials at all levels in Chang'an braved the wind and snow to guard the gate of the city, stood on tiptoe, stretched their necks and looked into the distance, their eyes full of With great anticipation.

The reason why these people braved the wind and snow to stand outside the city had only one purpose, and that was to welcome the Wang Shi who led the army back to the court in victory to return to his homeland.

"Your Majesty has led the army to fight abroad for more than three years, and now he has finally won a complete victory. This is really the greatest blessing for us and our people."

"Yes, it is precisely because of the bloody battles of the frontline soldiers that our people can once again prevent the Central Plains from falling into war. If it were not for the frontline reports and the continuous shipment of large quantities of materials, we would not believe that the war is still going on. occur."

"But even if the materials are shipped out, which one of the people and businessmen who transported the materials did not make a lot of money? My Han court has never treated anyone who made contributions to the front line, not as before. , must pay for nothing in order to fight.”

"Hey, this is the grace and bearing of the emperor of the Han Dynasty. Looking at the ancient and modern times, this kind of bearing is probably difficult for three generations of saints to achieve."

……

For the heroes of the Han army who fought bravely, especially for the Son of Heaven, everyone is full of praise, with admiration on their faces, and they are deeply proud of being born in this era.

Just when everyone was looking forward to it anxiously, they suddenly saw a rider running from a distance, and the rider on the horse was flying like a horse, and when he came close, he shouted loudly: "The emperor is coming, and we are only ten miles away. .”

"What?" After hearing this sentence, Shang Shuling Xun Yu immediately said loudly: "Everyone immediately form a team according to the previous regulations, and play the triumphant music. Welcome Your Majesty to return to the court!"

So in an instant, the sound of music was heard, and everyone lined up in neat lines according to the previous arrangements to welcome the Emperor of Han who was leading the expedition back to Chang'an.

Not long after, I saw rows of sergeants in the distance approaching slowly with neat and powerful steps. The soldiers in the front row were in bright armor, holding horizontal knives, and their crotches were all first-class horses in the world. Returning to the court after victory, returning to their hometown, seeing their fathers and villagers, and some even saw Ye Niang's wife, but these soldiers are still unsmiling, as if even if the sky falls, they can't shake them a little.

"Good! As expected of His Majesty's most elite ten thousand knights, such a battle is absolutely immovable." Among the crowd, a man dressed as a civil servant was full of admiration.

At this moment, a gray-bearded old man suddenly said: "Sir, you, aren't you the scholar who welcomed the return of the emperor's holy car outside the city gate three years ago? You really got a Jinshi in the last scientific examination? Little old man Chen Laosan, I don’t know if the nobleman still remembers it?”

But I saw a young man next to the man say: "What scholar? This is our trusted Jing Zhao Yin, Fan Xiwen and Fan Gong. Three years ago, Fan Gong's policy on defense against Mongolia attracted the attention of Wang Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, and was pointed out. After being recommended by Wang Shangshu, he worked in the Ministry of War under the command of Pei Shangshu. In just one year, he was promoted to be the head of the Ministry of War. This is an official of the sixth rank. Outstanding, now after the meeting of the political affairs hall, it is decided by the emperor of the current dynasty, and he will be the new Jing Zhaoyin..."

"Fan Wei, don't talk too much." Fan Xiwen cupped his hands to the old man, Chen Laosan, and said, "Old man, I remember clearly what happened three years ago. Ximen greeted His Majesty’s Western Expedition and returned to the court, and now he is welcoming His Majesty’s Eastern Expedition to return to the court at the North Gate. At that time, the land of the Han Dynasty was still facing heavy pressure from an army of one million, but three years later, the army of one million was wiped out. I am a mighty teacher of the Han court, not to mention unprecedented, it is absolutely unprecedented, to be able to follow such a holy master, I am really lucky for three lives!"

But at this moment, shouts of "Long live, long live..." came from their ears. It turned out that Liu He had already arrived, and Fan Xiwen didn't dare to say anything more. Long live.

With a smile on his face, Liu He shared the joy of the people. He entered Chang'an under the support of the majority of the subjects, met the officials, and learned about some things that happened in the past three years.

"Your Majesty, the harem is peaceful under the command of the Queen Empress. Your Majesty fights against foreign races, while the Empress Empress leads the concubines in the harem to pick mulberry and silkworms, weave cloth and spin yarn, and sell goods to enrich the military posture. It is indeed an example for the people, and the mother respects the world... . . . "

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty the Crown Prince has been supervising the country for the past few years. He has followed the advice of the prime ministers and earnestly studied the governance of the country. He has made great progress. In addition, His Majesty the Crown Prince has also actively discovered talents and sent them to the frontiers to serve the country. Although they are young, they are actually talented. Because, it is really Prince Xian..."

"Your Majesty, in the last imperial examination, I recruited 300 Jinshi, and now all of these 300 people are in official positions, either as local officials, or as key middle-level officials in the central government. The abundance of talents is amazing..."

"Your Majesty, now that the Silk Road has been reopened, the prosperity is better than in the past. Envoys from Western countries traveled along the Silk Road to pay homage to the emperor. They heard that the emperor was still begging for thieves, but they stayed in the posthouse and refused to leave, claiming that they would see the emperor Longyan in person. , Fang Xi lives with regrets..."

"Your Majesty, last year there was a severe flood in the south and a severe drought in the north. However, our dynasty has abundant grain reserves and abundant supplies. All the states and counties in the world joined forces to fight the disaster. No one died of starvation. Only a dozen people died in the flood. Such a thing is really true. It has never happened in thousands of years, but this year the weather is good and the grain harvest is bumper. Although there have been continuous wars in the past three years, the grain storage in various places can at least last for more than ten years..."

All kinds of good news came to his face. Liu He was very happy to hear the memorial. Naturally, various rewards were indispensable. For a while, both the government and the public were filled with joy.

At the same time, Liu He even more ambitiously announced to the ministers several major plans for the future development of Dahan:

[-]. The Great Voyage Plan, using Panyu, Guangling, Yizhou, Silla, Waguo and other places as ports, explored several routes to Siyi respectively, communicated with east and west, and started trade with Han porcelain, tea, fine wine, silk, etc. Exchange what is needed, and promote the further prosperity of the Dahan economy.

[-]. Adjust administrative measures, implement the provincial system, readjust the original states, and divide them into [-] provinces. Under the provinces, there are prefectures, prefectures and counties, with civilian officials in charge of local administration, and additional military, judicial, and supervisory officials .

[-]. Expand schools, popularize education, and attach importance to education in science and technology, medicine, astronomy, calendar, etc.

[-]. Widely set up hospitals in various places to improve the level of medical treatment and ensure the health of the people.

[-]. Research and develop new machines and steam engines, further develop gunpowder weapons and warships, and enhance the combat power of the big man.

Sixth, take economic exchanges as the core and immigration as a means to strengthen exchanges with other places, and prepare for the assimilation of other ethnic groups by the Han Dynasty in the future.

……

A few months later, when Liu He was listening to officials reporting on the progress of various tasks, Pei Yuanshao came to report: Zhang Chunhua asked to see him.

Liu He's heart warmed up. He knew that this Zhang Chunhua was no longer the same Zhang Chunhua. Instead, he had silently and unrepentantly helped him obtain the greatest hero in the world—the system, the Madonna of the Golden Knife—for many years.

After some conversation, Liu He announced that he would marry Zhang Chunhua as his concubine, and she would be titled Concubine Mu.

At the same time, Himiko, the Queen of Yamatai of the Wa Kingdom, also announced that she would immigrate to the Great Han. Along with her, there were hundreds of thousands of women from the Wa Kingdom, and most of the native Wa Kingdom had become a paradise for the Han immigrants. Only a few Japanese men, However, all of these people also claimed that they were Ryukyu people, and even future generations never mentioned that they were Japanese people.

As for the Song Jiang who declared that he was going to be entrusted to the Wa Kingdom, although he was lucky enough to save his life, how could he really dare to be entrusted because he was a widow?Before Liu He left the Wa Kingdom, he resolutely asked to resign from the fief, and was willing to go to the Han Dynasty to be an ordinary citizen, and the Wa Kingdom later became the fiefdom of Liu Chan, Duke of Shu, and Liu Chan's title was also promoted to the county king. The world shakes...

Three years later, the good news came that the team sent by Liu He to the ocean finally arrived in America, and successfully established a rule there and educated the people. The civilization there is also undergoing great changes quietly. Liu He was overjoyed and ordered his second son, Jin Wang Liuyuan went to South America, and his third son, King Liu Yao of Chu, went to North America to serve as governor there.

Five years later, the poisoned people in the south rebelled. Liu He ordered his army to put it down, and ordered his fourth son Liu Cong, the king of Zhao, to serve as the governor there.

Two years later, the Western Great Qin Empire was conquered by the Han merchants for killing the Han merchants, and finally the entire army was annihilated. Liu He ordered his fifth son Liu Zhiyuan, the fifth son of Wu Wang, to serve as the governor there.

Later, Liu He won the support of the people for providing advanced iron plow and cattle farming technology to Africa. Dozens of countries officially belonged to the Han Dynasty. In order to facilitate the rule, Liu He asked his six son Liu Yilong to serve as the governor there.

Ten years later, the steam engine was successfully manufactured and quickly applied, and then equipped in warships, transportation, production, etc. In this case, the prosperity of the Han Empire opened a new page.
